As I see it, the purpose of embedded links is to move the editor cursor to the source, thus helping you (the person who is currently editing) to edit you source. When you receive a random PDF with links in it, it is not expected that clicking on a link brings the source to an editor window, because there is not expected, in general, that you (the person who is viewing the random PDF) have an editor window open, and the PDF dos not contain the source code. A published PDF should not contain any links because they are only of any use for the person who was creating it, and only while he was creating it. On the other hand, _iff_ you have the source code open in an editor, and the file name matches the one in the links, and you have your system properly configured to redirect the links to that specific editor, then the links are very useful. This, no other, is the expected behavior. It depends on that you have your system properly configured, more than whether it is one OS or another. For example, Frescobaldi does a good use of the links both in Windows and GNU/Linux. -- Francisco Vila.
